"The dinner cruise was fantastic."
The dinner cruise was fantastic. The entertainment singer was soothing and easy to listen to, creating a relaxing and fun atmosphere, the chaetue briande (beef tenderloin) melted in my mouth, was very tender, and i loved the sauce over top, mashed potatoes and asparagus both flavorful and perfect. Best meal i think i have ever experienced! Worth going back for the beef! The deck was amazing as the wind gently blew through my hair, as we watched the coastline of st petersburg. A must do again!!!

"We LOVED this cruise!"
We loved this cruise! The lunch cruise was a birthday gift for our dad, who had turned 91 the day before. The food was delicious, our waiter was attentive and delightful, and our captain and tour guide knowledgeable and engaging. And it didn't hurt that the weather was superb! We would totally do this again!
